TOPIC: Emotions & Feelings — What am I feeling?

Emotions and feelings are the earliest indicators of relapse. They often precede our drinking or using behaviors. This card deck (and companion Facilitator Guide) will give you a model to help you better understand and communicate what you are feeling. This will enable you to better regulate your response to situational triggers and help you build alternative coping strategies. Sharing your feeling with others can help you get the support you need to better deal with difficult situations.
